This notification concerns the following undertakings:

KTGR and SEIH will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the whole of Repower.
The concentration is accomplished by way of contract.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


KTGR is a regional Swiss authority under public law,
